    Actually, It was a typo...... 14.263 vs. 14.264.

    Why? Usually, you can glean from the other stations exchange what you need for the exchange. Use of the frequency change through me... and in this case, I didn't know there was going to be a contest, didn't know what contest it was, and even with my trusted friend google, I had a hard time determining what contest was in play. I could have asked, "What contest is this and what are the rules?". Hell, the guy was calling CQ for 2 minutes with no answers..... I was just helping him out. He was probably thinking something was wrong with his station. I'm not even going to turn in a log.

    Besides, what kind of screw ball set-up is that?

    Yeah, that's a little different.

    I'm certainly no expert, but the North American Sprints have been run this way for many years, IIRC.

    yeah, it was 2 AM and I was setting here, tired, half blind with high sugar (513) and waiting for the extra shot of insulin to work and praying it would when I typed that post. The funny part is, I proof read it twice......
